A 55-inch chain saw blade with bi-directional dual-sided high-carbon steel teeth, pulled by two 25-foot climber-grade ropes via ergonomic non-slip handles.

Bi-directional teeth bite on every stroke. A 10-inch limb takes about five minutes. ## Common questions - **How high can it reach?** Over 40 feet, using the two included 25-foot ropes.
